Description
Ellery Hayden, Jack Leoni, and Frank Culicchia report a brain-covering tumor that turned out to be a rare blood-vessel growth, in a 2024 case report. Such growths usually appear in bone or inside brain tissue. Only a small share start in the dura, the brain's tough outer cover. The patient was a forty-six-year-old woman.
Her left frontal mass had been found by chance and grew over four years. Scans suggested a common meningioma: even enhancement, a broad base, and a dural tail. Surgery removed it in one piece. The purplish-red mass proved to be a capillary hemangioma under the microscope. The case warns that rare mimics can wear a textbook disguise.
